Good article, but incomplete without a cost comparison. What's the overall cost/revenue difference b/t the fragile plan/s (which cost little but failed and made no revenue) and robust plan which succeeded but required 50+ freelancers.
- sivers 13y agoGreat point. I don't have the answer, but here's something to consider: That brilliant journalist I hired, the person who was ready to take on the responsibility of writing 16 books in a year, needed $90k salary. Finding people to answer some specific questions about their existing field of expertise has cost very very little. 48 researchers cost less than $60k.
- SkyMarshal 13y agoThat's interesting, I particularly liked the part where you realized coming up with the right questions was the way forward, and based on that info I suppose you could value your 200 questions at roughly $30k, since that's the extra bit journalist would have had to do otherwise. On a side note, thanks for all your writings over the years, I've learned a ton and still use some of them for both personal reference and for referring friends & associates.
